This bungalow in a holiday-home development could also prove to become a viable long-term home, writes Tommy Barker.

BIG site, small house, and the very best of beach views are all in the mix here in West Cork’s South Ring, by Clonakilty Bay.

WHAT a setting. That’s the verdict on this beachside home, in a cove so little used it could be yours alone for much of the year.

WHAT price humility? Billed as “a humble cottage on one of the most sensational one-acre sites in West Cork, with breathtaking views in all directions,” this two-up, two-down cottage has a seemingly immodest €350,000-plus asking price.
